Review on Bosch BSD699 Severe Duty Brake by Aaron Jimison
much less wear area than other pads
The product appears to be a good reliable product. I just installed it so let's see how it holds up. I noticed that the wear material on the actual pad is quite small - it only covers about 60% of the actual area of the pad backplate. The other spacers I used covered most of the backplate. I think this reduces the contact area and braking performance as well as pad life. This aspect did not impress me.
